As it stands, wallets are still pretty much a daily necessity. If we need to buy a thing then we have to exchange bits of paper and metal for it, or sometimes put a card in a machine for a bit, so it’s important we have someplace safe to keep them all. Even if the contents of your wallet are minimal, invest in something you can take pride in every time you pull it out your pocket, even if only to realise you have to put it away again. Before too long who knows what transactions will take place instead of a cash exchange; scanning a screen on our phones, speaking into a pair of glasses on our head, these aren’t too far from reality so let’s indulge in a tangible product we can hold in our hands whilst we still can. Take a look at our selection of the best wallets available now after the jump.
